### 2/5 — I Really Want to Love This Game

*2023-10-28*

Where are the instructions? Absolutely maddening because I’d like to improve my chess game by becoming more familiar with the movements of the knights!

### 3/5 — Ok i guess

*2021-10-09*

Maybe too simple? I want colors and bosses

### 4/5 — Some bugs

*2020-09-25*

There is a bug where you get squares without travelling to them.

### 4/5 — Leaderboard

*2020-03-04*

Very good app but needs online Leaderboard

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-12-12*

I love playing this! Such. Fun time to spend time

### 3/5 — Good Concept

*2018-06-02*

The concept for this game is good but it’s still a bit buggy and you have to relaunch the app in order to play again

### 1/5 — Good Game, Needs a no ads in-app purchase

*2017-10-26*

Good Game, Needs a no ads in-app purchase. They need to fix the menu item as well.

### 4/5 — Lots of Fun

*2017-01-23*

This is actually a bit addicting and is great for someone who enjoys visual puzzles and wants to pass some time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Any ideas or improvements to make it a 5-star game?

### 5/5 — Simple app

*2017-01-17*

Does exactly what it says it does. You move a knight around

### 2/5 — Good, but too ad heavy.

*2016-11-29*

Seems like a good, simple, fast paced game. However, there are too many over the top ad interruptions to be tolerable. 

I see no option to pay to remove ads or any paid ad-free version so it's useless which is a shame.
